Washington, DC: Democratic National Committee, 2018. The 2018 DNC Christmas Card to donating members, 7.5" x 10" (opened), 7.5" x 5" (closed). See scans. Pristine throughout, but for the opened, addressed envelope, of course. Card bears 16 signatures of DNC leaders, topped by that of Tom Perez. While these signatures look for all the world as actual hand signatures, one must assume that this was executed with outstanding laser printing, from actual originals; the Committee did not individually sign each of many thousands of these. Looks like it, though, which is nice. Donor letter from Perez included, and a donor form plus envelope for it are included here. Nice piece of political ephemera which will continue to grow in meaning and value. Ships in stout protection, of course. LSmph4
